This dish is so comforting you’ll feel like you’re wrapped in a warm blanket. It’s packed with flavors that will transport you straight to the sunny coast of Tunisia, without the need for a plane ticket!
Now, let’s talk ingredients! You’re going to need a few essentials that might just be hanging out in your pantry or fridge:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Now that you’ve gathered everything (and maybe danced around a bit with joy), let’s get to the cooking part!
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, and trust us, it’s a good thing.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika. Stir it up and let those spices get all cozy with the onions for about a minute.
- Next, pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the broth. Turn the heat up and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add the chickpeas, carrots, and zucchini. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes. This is the time to be patient—good things come to those who wait!
- Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. The final touch? A handful of fresh cilantro for garnish. It’ll add that pop of color and freshness that makes your soup look Instagram-worthy!
